How to recognize the profile

Do not rely on the file extension alone. Inspect the root namespace, customization/profile identifiers, version values and authority-specific envelope.

  • Finvoice root
  • SellerPartyDetails
  • InvoiceDetails

Production validation stack

  1. 1
    Finvoice schema

    Confirm that the document is well formed and structurally compatible with the intended Finvoice syntax.

  2. 2
    Operator rules

    Apply semantic and business-rule checks rather than accepting a file merely because it parses.

  3. 3
    Finnish Business ID

    Validate currencies, countries, tax categories, units, payment means and other controlled values against the correct release.

  4. 4
    Payment reference rules

    Apply the national, network or authority restrictions that narrow the base syntax.

EInvoiceLab’s browser tools provide detection, inspection and technical preflight. A profile is only production-valid after applying the correct official artefacts and obtaining the required network or authority outcome.
